🔔 FAQ:
We will be serving 7 meals throughout the weekend but you need to take care of your own accommodations.

Similar to you, people interested to become entrepreneurs or fascinated by internet. Business people, tech geeks, and creatives. Some technical, some not! We encourage inclusivity.
You can come with an idea or a very early stage business (only some market research done). For various reasons, it is better to come with something new!
Nop, you come as an individual and not as a team. Take this opportunity to test a new idea and meet with new people!
Most of the projects won't move forward but some will, it really depends on you and your team. Nevertheless, you will most likely meet your future co-founders and learn a ton!
Anything related to technology / internet in a broader sense.
An app to find second hand clothes, a website to find local tour guides, a couponing system for restaurants, a social network for pet owners.
